Features
The A580's specs and feature set are as vanilla as its styling. The imaging is handled by a relatively small 1/2.5-inch CCD sensor. The lens has a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 35-140mm, which isn't especially wide, but is a slightly longer than usual 4x optical zoom. Image stabilisation is built in to the lens and the orientation sensor works out which way round the picture was taken.
Additionally, a 9-point TTL autofocus also uses face detection to focus on and set exposure for faces spotted in the frame. You can also select a face and track it as they move around. There are 16 shooting modes including automatic mode with options like portrait and landscape on the mode dial and less commonly-used options like beach and foliage in the menus. One impressive feature is a 15-second long shutter, which can be used to create interesting night shots.
Red-eye features can pre-fire an orange flash and/or remove red-eye automatically as you snap or manually in playback mode. In playback, images can be tagged or more accurately filed into preset categories. You can choose people and scenery categories as well as three user categories. This makes sorting pictures easier and allows for slideshows showing just the pictures you want.
